Hi Everyone
im in the early stages of trying to work out what CNC laser machine to purchase, what the best cad/cam software to run, i have a budget of 10k and do not want any Chinese imports! and support after i purchase would be a must! i have looked at Trotec but they are very pricey!

my story, i own and run a landscaping and property maintenance business but in the past have dabbled with design and was very good at it all be it for a bit of fun!! now i want to exploit that skill as a hobby and then into a viable business over the next few years! cnc routers would work but my the efficiency and effectiveness of a laser machine has caught my interest! plus it will work on the materials i intend to work with! the only thing is i am feeling my way around in the dark at the moment and as there is so much choice out there i thought i would join this site and let some other keen enthusiasts hold my hand..... figuratively speaking!

p.s the larger the bed & 40-80co2 laser the happier ill be!
